Jack finally discovers why all of his loved ones are being eliminated: the benign Ally want him as Heir to the Sentinel to keep the malevolent Otherness at bay. Still reeling from the terrorist attack that killed his father at LaGuardia, one of his barmates at Julio's askes him to find his niece. Jack rescues her with the help of a team of yeniceri, who along with the Occuli, try to convert Jack to a member. Then Gia and Vicky are run down, and Jack has to rescue them from comas and death. ( ) This installment of Repairman Jack starts out with Jack saving the niece of a regular at Julio's. This starts a chain of events that isn't really random. He finds the Yeniceri, a group that protects The Oculus, who are the eyes of the Ally, Sound confusing? It's not really. Just imagine the Ally as a kinda, sorta god, add the Otherness, a kinda, sorta devil, the Lady (there are many of them and they all have dogs) , Vicky, Gia, Abe and you get a romp through a super natural thriller. Somehow I messed up on my Repairman Jack reading and read Bloodlines in 2007 before I had read Harbingers. I really thought I had read all the RJ books as they came out, and didn't ever consider I had missed one. Now Bloodlines makes more sense and I no longer think I suffer from senior moment memory loss! Harbingers, like all of Wilson's Repairman Jack books is a great read. I sort of wish I had discovered them some years in the future though, when the series is complete. I hate waiting for the next book! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

It starts off so simply: Jack, still feeling down after the tragic events of Infernal, is hanging in Julio's when a regular named Timmy asks him for help. His teenage niece has been missing since this morning; the police say it's too early to worry, but Timmy knows something bad has happened. Jack says he'll put the word out on the street. This innocent request triggers a chain of seemingly coincidental events that lead Jack into the darkest days of his life. As has become evident in the series, Jack has been singled out, unwillingly, as the champion of one of the two supernatural forces contending for control of all human life on Earth. Neither of these forces are good or evil, just dangerous and amoral. They value and notice individual humans about as much as we do mosquitoes. Jack is desperate . . . and the last thing you want to do is make Jack desperate. That's when things begin to blow up and people begin to die. A hang-onto-your-hat-and-heart thriller of triumph and tragedy that barrels along at F. Paul Wilson's trademark breakneck pace. No library descriptions found. |
